Babar Azam was left off of Pakistan’s squad for their T20I series against New Zealand following their early Champions Trophy elimination.
The omission of Pakistan’s mainstay Babar Azam from the T20I series against New Zealand raised some questions. Even Pakistan’s white-ball skipper, Mohammad Rizwan, was not chosen for the task, sparking heated debate on social media. Even Babar Azam’s father, Azam Siddique, rushed to social media to express his thoughts on his son’s exclusion from the shortest format side. Though Siddique reacted positively to his son’s absence, he did issue a warning to the country’s great cricketers who have been criticizing the star for his poor performances.
“The boss is always correct. Despite being a member of the ICC T20 Team of the Year, he was dropped. It’s OK; he’ll play in the National T20 and PSL. Inshallah, he will make a comeback. That is the only respectable option. They are incredibly prominent former players. They are asked to keep their words correct. If someone responds, they may be unable to endure. You represent the past, and the door will never open.”
He went on to explain, “Some others believe that if the father speaks more, so will the Holy Prophet.It is a request to the cricket fans who have been yelling for them day and night to be patient with those who lack or are unable to provide it, as he is his first and final coach, spokesperson, mentor, and best friend and father in the world. Take a quick look at the PCB website before hearing about their actions during that era. For the remainder of the wise, a hint suffices. Zindabad, Pakistan.
One of Pakistan’s best wicketkeepers, Karman Akmal, expressed his surprise at the post from Babar’s father. He claimed that Babar’s father’s social media activities was an insult to the Pakistan Cricket Board.”The PCB’s policies should not be discussed by the family. You should refrain from commenting on PCB’s policies, regardless of whether it is the family or any other player. He shouldn’t be posting such things, and it’s an insult to the PCB,” Akmal stated on ARY News.
“I went through a really difficult period as well, but I told my father and my brothers that it is not their responsibility to respond, talk, or publish; you should take care of your own affairs; this is my problem. Whatever choice PCB made for me, they have a greater understanding of it.This, in my opinion, is the rule that the families of each player must abide by.
